DESCRIPTION:
Fight the darkness to your last breath-and beyond! Fight the darkness for Rome! Players in Weird Wars Rome are legionaries battling the enemies of Rome, as well as stranger things they encounter in their bloody travels across the Empire. Witness a history of the dark things that rise as blood and war mingle with shadows and fear. The book features two Plot Point Campaigns, new rules for creating "Legacies" from era to era, equipment, strange creatures, enemies and allies, expanded rules for naval combat and sieges, the history of Weird Wars in the Roman period, a new Arcane Background, and an Adventure Generator for any war the legionaries of Rome find themselves fighting. Stride forth with the legions of Rome to the corners of the world-the Celtic wilds, the forests of Germania, the deserts of Aegyptus-and into a history few will ever know. Fight the darkness in a war that spans centuries. Weird Wars Rome is a setting book for Savage Worlds, and requires the Savage Worlds core rules to play.
My favorite of the Weird Wars series My favorite of the Weird Wars series.Since the core setting is historial / roman it's able to blend the supernatural in a way which is perhaps less jarring to suspension of disbelief than it's more modern sister settings.The book provides an engaging primer on history which is accurate enough for the purposes of the setting while also providing narrative space for the fantas. William Bargo said Three Stars. Good stuff for a great system, but not as good as others in the Weird Wars line.. "Worst Savage Words product ever" according to Brad. I am a huge Savage Worlds fan. I have about 15 books and many pdf files for the Savage Worlds. Weird Wars: Rome just did not do anything for me. There really was nothing really to system and fluff is pretty basic. Weird Wars: WWII is much better.
